AUTUNEER LED Truck Bed Lights,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5L6NRZZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

How can you say no to all this light for a just a few bucks - what would we do without AMZN.

Any pointers on installation?

Did you tie them to the bed light switch or went auxilary?

Right?!

Nothing special. I tied them into the existing lights.

Lucky kid!

Thanks buddy, she is my senior and I love rewarding her for good decisions. Plus it will keep her safer as she travels to college.
The Bronco Sport is being passed down to my newest driver.

We've got a freshman that'll be going in for his permit test in just a few months. Fighting the urge to buy him a newer F-150 - driving a beater for your first rig is kind of a rite of passage and Mom is terrified either way

Oh believe me, this is a point of contention at our house as well. I grew up with the beater and feel like vehicles should be earned, which is a reason I didn't mind buying a base model gently used Bronco as my oldest heads off to college. She has been an excellent student, teammate, and a true joy to our family.

The reason we ended up with the Bronco Sport because we were searching for a car back in 21'-'22 years and with the covid shortages, a new Bronco Sport was significantly less than any other used vehicles we could find. Plus there is just something about my girls that I want them to be in something safe and reliable.

It may be a little different story in two years when my son starts to drive.

I had the beater mentality for my kids. But with the new safety technology on newer vehicles, I thought that might be nice for my kids to have some backup. Then my wife and I changed our minds and get a newer car for them that they get to keep when they leave to school and such. It’s worked out great and gives the kids a reliable vehicle to start their adult lives with

I'm both excited and a little worried about our next one being a girl (should find out in a few weeks). I know it'd be a whole different ballgame with a little girl that has her mom's looks and my attitude

I hear you on the used market. It's still nuts around here. A 25 year old Ranger with 200k goes for $10-15k. He's already asked if he can drive my Bronco. Not without me in it!

Good luck on the girl….haha

I have 3 of them. Yes I have been drinking a lot more lately. They have their moms looks (thank god they don’t look like me), moms attitude, and my charisma (that’s what I call my smartass’ness). Always say it’s better to be a smart ass then a dumb ass
